rain and other water percolating through the composting material.
Leaf and Yard Waste - Includes waste consisting of plant materials but not tree limbs or other
woody materials in excess of 7 centimetres in diameter.
Maturity - A condition of compost that results from the thorough decomposition of the feedstock
materials, and as a result exhibits very limited biological activity, which enables the compost to be
stored and handled without adverse effect, including offensive odours, and used
using a correlation between these two sites, a calculated flow
can be estimated for the ‘Bushline. Based on this correlation, as shown in Figure 4 the flow did not fall below
the 134L/s limit, so no restrictions were required to be put in place.

2.1 Inspections
18 August 2017
An inspection was conducted in fine weather with light northerly wind conditions, following recent heavy
rain throughout the catchment.
The influent screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The primary pond level was high,
approximately 150 mm below the concrete waveband. The pond
rainwater. The slurry area had nothing put in it recently. There was no flow in the
gully below the discharge point and only looked to flow only during rain events. No
evidence of any cement or fine sediments were found in the drain. Overall the site
looked to have minimal use and was being kept tidy.
Results of discharge monitoring 3.2.2
Inspections undertaken at Firth Industries during the 2015-2016 monitoring period
did not find any untreated or inadequately treated discharges entering
suitable for classes
of up to 35 students unless
otherwise stated.

EXPLANATION
This scale of charges is used to calculate the Council's actual and reasonable costs when carrying out functions
under the Resource Management Act 1991. Where those actual and
surface waterway via a settling pond (or tank), or are contained in cartridges disposed of at
landfills.
1.3 Resource consents
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity
is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a Regional Plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
Section 15(1) (a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless
the
Possum Self-help The site falls outside the possum self-help area.
Herbivores - High The property lies outside the self help possum boundary. The back
block and roadside blocks are mostly or fully fenced to exclude
stock, while the middle block is able to be accessed by stock and
has evidently been grazed through.
Habitat Modification - Medium The back block and roadside blocks are mostly or fully fenced to
exclude stock. Remaining areas will be proposed to be fenced in

approximately 2.1 ha in size
and is comprised of a cutover lowland tawa dominant forest remnant on hill slopes and stream terraces.
The remnant is of a native forest type that is classified as 'Chronically Threatened' in Taranaki and falls
within 'Acutely Threatened' Land Environment (LENZ) F5.2a. Remnants such as this provide important
habitat for rare and threatened species. Gillett Family Bush also offers good connectivity to other nearby
habitats, private QEII covenants and Key Native Ecosystems in
